Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, die die oben genannten Vorteile besitzt.The object of the present invention is to provide a device which has the abovementioned advantages.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung werden in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 14 definiert.This object is achieved by a device according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the device according to the invention are defined in claims 2 to 14.

Erfindungsgemäß werden diese Aufgaben dadurch gelöst, dass eine erste Kammer aus einem ersten Hauptabschnitt besteht, der im Wesentlichen linear aufgebaut ist und von dem mehrere erste Zweigabschnitte abzweigen und dass eine zweite Kammer aus einem zweiten Hauptabschnitt besteht, von dem mehrere zweite Zweigabschnitte abzweigen, die jeweils zwischen den ersten Zweigabschnitten angeordnet sind. Wesentlich an der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Tatsache, dass nur eine relativ geringe Anzahl von einander unabhängiger Kammern vorliegt, die jedoch einen ineinander verzahnten Aufbau aufweisen, so dass zur Verteilung innerhalb der Kammern große Strömungsquerschnitte zur Verfügung stehen, die für eine gleichmäßige und schnelle Druckluftverteilung sorgen. Auf diese Weise können hohe Frequenzen verwirklicht werden, mit denen die Kammern beaufschlagt bzw. entlastet werden. Als Strömungsmedium kann Luft oder ein viskoses Fluid verwendet werden. Durch die Druckbeaufschlagung des Gurtes wird das darunter liegende Gewebe praktisch gleichzeitig stimuliert, so dass ein hoher therapeutischer Effekt erzielt wird. Darüber hinaus weist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung einen besonders einfachen Aufbau auf und ist daher kostengünstig herstellbar.According to the invention, these objects are achieved in that a first chamber consists of a first main section, which is constructed essentially linearly and from which branch off a plurality of first branch sections and in that a second chamber consists of a second main section from which branch off a plurality of second branch sections, respectively are arranged between the first branch sections. Essential to the present invention is the fact that there are only a relatively small number of independent chambers, but have a nested structure, so that for distribution within the chambers large flow cross sections are available, which provide a uniform and fast distribution of compressed air , In this way, high frequencies can be realized, with which the chambers are acted upon or relieved. As the flow medium, air or a viscous fluid can be used. By applying pressure to the belt, the underlying tissue is stimulated virtually simultaneously, resulting in a high therapeutic effect. In addition, the device according to the invention has a particularly simple structure and is therefore inexpensive to produce.

Ein besonders einfacher und wirksamer Aufbau kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Hauptabschnitte geradlinig und parallel verlaufen. Besonders vorzugsweise sind die Hauptabschnitte entlang eines Umfangsrandes dieser Vorrichtung vorgesehen. Dies bedeutet, dass die Vorrichtung selbst im Wesentlichen zylindrisch aufgebaut ist und die Hauptabschnitte entlang der beiden Ränder des Zylinders verlaufen. In besonders bevorzugter Weise sind die Zweigabschnitte rechtwinkelig zu den Hauptabschnitten angeordnet.A particularly simple and effective construction can be achieved in that the main sections are rectilinear and parallel. Particularly preferably, the main sections are provided along a peripheral edge of this device. This means that the device itself is constructed substantially cylindrical and the main sections extend along the two edges of the cylinder. In a particularly preferred manner, the branch sections are arranged at right angles to the main sections.

Eine erste bevorzugte AusfĂĽhrungsvariante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass eine Pumpe vorgesehen ist, die auf die verschiedenen Kammersysteme umschaltbar oder automatisch regelbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann mit einer einzelnen Pumpe das Auslangen gefunden werden.A first preferred embodiment of the invention provides that a pump is provided which can be switched or automatically controlled to the various chamber systems. In this way, with a single pump Auslangen can be found.

Die Anwendung der Vorrichtung, insbesondere auf Reisen, kann in einer besonders begünstigten Ausführungsvariante dadurch gewährleistet werden, dass die Vorrichtung mittels einer mobilen Stromversorgung tragbar ist und mindestens eine Pumpe aufweist. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass die Pumpe extern angebracht ist. Spezielle Behandlungskonzepte können dadurch verwirklicht werden, dass mehr als zwei Kammern vorgesehen sind, die vom Normaldruckzustand in den leichten Überdruckzustand übergeführt werden. Bevorzugt ist, wenn die Kammern eine doppelwandige, abschnittsweise flexible, wasserundurchlässige Hülle aufweisen. Diese Vorrichtung verwirklicht ihre Zielsetzung nur in Verbindung mit Bewegung im Fettverbrennungspuls mit sämtlichen Ausdauertrainingsgeräten (Rad, Laufband, Stepper, etc.).The application of the device, in particular when traveling, can be ensured in a particularly favored embodiment variant in that the device is portable by means of a mobile power supply and has at least one pump. However, it is also possible that the pump is mounted externally. Special treatment concepts can be realized in that more than two chambers are provided, which are converted from the normal pressure state in the slight overpressure state. It is preferred if the chambers have a double-walled, partially flexible, water-impermeable envelope. This device realizes its objective only in conjunction with movement in the fat burning pulse with all endurance training devices (bike, treadmill, stepper, etc.).

Die Ausführungsvariante von Fig. 1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Behandlung der Oberarme. Es besteht aus einem Grundkörper 1, an dem eine Manschette 2 angeformt ist, wobei am gegenüberliegenden Teil der Manschette als Klettverschluss 2 am Grundkörper 1 eine Lasche 3 ausgebildet ist, der in an sich bekannter Weise mit der Manschette des Klettverschlusses 2 verbunden werden kann, um die Vorrichtung zu befestigen. (Blutdruckmessgerät)The variant of Fig. 1 is a device for treating the upper arms. It consists of a base body 1, on which a sleeve 2 is formed, wherein at the opposite part of the cuff as Velcro 2 on the base body 1, a tab 3 is formed, which can be connected in a conventional manner with the cuff of the hook and loop fastener 2 to to fix the device. (Sphygmomanometer)

Die Vorrichtung besitzt eine erste Kammer 4 und eine zweite Kammer 5, die jeweils über Zufuhröffnungen 6, 7 mit Druckluft oder einem anderen viskosen Fluid beaufschlagbar werden. Die erste Kammer 4 besteht aus einem ersten Hauptabschnitt 8 und zwei Zweigabschnitten 9, 10, die zur Verdeutlichung in Fig. 1 durch unterbrochene Linien getrennt sind. In analoger Weise besteht die zweite Kammer 5 aus einem zweiten Hauptabschnitt 11 und zwei Zweigabschnitten 12, 13, die ebenfalls zeichnerisch durch eine unterbrochene Linie voneinander getrennt sind. Aufgrund der großen Strömungsverbindung zwischen den Hauptabschnitten 8, 11 und den Zweigabschnitten 9, 10; 12, 13 können die Kammern 4, 5 schnell mit Druckluft oder einem anderen Medium beaufschlagt werden und auch wieder schnell entleert werden. Dadurch können hohe Frequenzen beim abwechselnden Füllen und Entleeren der Kammern 4, 5 erzielt werden. Bei der Ausführungsvariante von Fig. 1 liegen die Hauptabschnitte 8; 11 der Kammern 4, 5 bei Verwendung im Wesentlichen parallel zur Achse des Oberarms und die Zweigabschnitte 9, 10; 12, 13 erstrecken sich im Wesentlichen in Umfangsrichtung. Schematisch ist die Versorgung der Vorrichtung durch eine wechselseitige beaufschlagbare Pumpe 16 über Leitungen 17, 18 dargestellt, die in die erste bzw. zweite Kammer 4, 5 münden. Um die beiden Manschetten 2 richtig am Körper positionieren und befestigen zu können, wird ein Schulterteil (wie ein Pullover) aus Neopren dazwischen genäht. Die Verbindungsschläuche werden mit Verbindungsstücken auf zwei Ventilausgängen im Brustteil zusammengeführt.The device has a first chamber 4 and a second chamber 5, which are each acted upon via supply openings 6, 7 with compressed air or another viscous fluid. The first chamber 4 consists of a first main section 8 and two branch sections 9, 10, which for clarity in Fig. 1 are separated by broken lines. In an analogous manner, the second chamber 5 consists of a second main section 11 and two branch sections 12, 13, which are also separated graphically by a broken line. Due to the large flow connection between the main sections 8, 11 and the branch sections 9, 10; 12 13, the chambers 4, 5 can be acted upon quickly with compressed air or another medium and also quickly emptied again. As a result, high frequencies can be achieved in the alternate filling and emptying of the chambers 4, 5. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 are the main sections 8; 11 of the chambers 4, 5 when used substantially parallel to the axis of the upper arm and the branch sections 9, 10; 12, 13 extend substantially in the circumferential direction. Schematically, the supply of the device is represented by a mutual actuatable pump 16 via lines 17, 18, which open into the first and second chamber 4, 5. In order to be able to position the two cuffs 2 properly on the body and fastened, a shoulder part (such as a sweater) of neoprene is sewn in between. The connection hoses are connected with connectors on two valve outlets in the chest section.

Zur Vereinfachung ist lediglich der Grundkörper 1 dargestellt, die Befestigung kann wie in Fig. 1 erfolgen bzw. mit einem Klettverschluss 2 versehen werden. Bei dieser Ausführungsvariante sind die Hauptabschnitte 8; 11 der Kammern 4, 5 entlang der Umfangsränder 14, 15 des Hauptkörpers 1 angeordnet. Die Zweigabschnitte 9; 12 sind rechtwinkelig zu den Hauptabschnitten 8; 11 und erstrecken sich in der Anwendungssituation im Wesentlichen parallel zur Achse des betreffenden Körperteils. Schematisch ist die Versorgung der Vorrichtung durch eine wechselseitig beaufschlagbare Pumpe 16 über Leitungen 17, 18 dargestellt, die in die erste, bzw. zweite Kammer 4, 5 münden. Aus Fig. 2 ist weiters ersichtlich, dass die Umfangsränder nicht notwendigerweise geradlinig ausgebildet sein müssen, sondern auch beispielsweise konvexe Abschnitte 19 aufweisen können.In Fig. 2 an alternative embodiment of the invention is shown, which is also used as a device for the abdominal area. For simplicity, only the main body 1 is shown, the attachment can as in Fig. 1 take place or be provided with a hook and loop fastener 2. In this embodiment, the main sections 8; 11 of the chambers 4, 5 along the peripheral edges 14, 15 of the main body 1 is arranged. The branch sections 9; 12 are perpendicular to the main sections 8; 11 and extend in the application situation substantially parallel to the axis of the body part in question. Schematically, the supply of the device by a mutual acted upon pump 16 via lines 17, 18, which open into the first, or second chamber 4, 5.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsvariante der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, die in der Form eines Hosengurtes ausgebildet ist. Die erste Kammer 4 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen parallel zum oberen Umfangsrand 14, der bei Verwendung etwa im Gürtelbereich angeordnet ist. Die zweite Kammer 5 erstreckt sich am unteren Rand 15 der Hosenbeine, die hier generell mit 20, 21 bezeichnet sind. Ein Verbindungsabschnitt 22 stellt die pneumatische oder hydraulische Trennung der einzelnen Teile der zweiten Kammer 4, 5 her. Die Zweigabschnitte 9; 12 erstrecken sich im Wesentlichen parallel oder mäanderförmig zur Achse der Hosenbeine 20, 21, wobei, wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, aufgrund der Passform entsprechende Abweichungen möglich sind. In Fig. 3 nicht dargestellte Klettverschlusselemente ermöglichen es, den Hosengurt vor der Verwendung entsprechend dicht an den Körper der Person anzulegen, um die therapeutische Wirkung der abwechselnden Druckbeaufschlagung sicherzustellen. Zusätzlich wird eine Neoprenhose übergezogen, um die gleichmäßige Druckwirkung zu gewährleisten. Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, which is in the form of a trouser strap. The first chamber 4 extends substantially parallel to the upper peripheral edge 14, which in use is located approximately in the belt area. The second chamber 5 extends at the lower edge 15 of the pant legs, which are generally designated 20, 21 here. A connecting section 22 establishes the pneumatic or hydraulic separation of the individual parts of the second chamber 4, 5. The branch sections 9; 12 extend substantially parallel or meandering to the axis of the pant legs 20, 21, wherein, as shown Fig. 3 apparent, due to the fit corresponding deviations are possible.
